Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Hi all!
Welcome to my new blog! I have learnt a lot in my walk with God since last year and am itching to tell u guys everything.(kinda impossible) So I will start the ball rolling now. I know i should have typed this on Easter but better late than never.....
Let me introduce u guys to joe. He was just a normal guy like u when he was three. now on his way to a holiday, his family was approaching a toll. suddenly, chaos. a monster truck lost control and crashed into a car. and it didn't stop there. it continued smashing through the whole line of cars and finally into the family's car. once it hit the car, it caught fire. and joe was siting in the back seat. the family got out unharmed but suddenly remembered they forgot joe. a man rushed into the car and rescued joe. he was truly burnt to the skin. he was rushed to the hospital and given a operation. almost all of his skin was burnt. and prayers were going up for him in the waiting room. and finally, the doctors managedto rescue him. it's hard to describe how he looked. his nose was almost gone and his mouth was a small slit. and his hand..his hands. they looked like this:
Y. Almost half of both his hands were gone. he had tot wear a helmet for almost the whole of his childhood. he didn't blame God. he didn't blame anyone. when his mum showed him the mirror and asked him who was in it, he would say, "It's me! Joe!" now he's twenty years old and married. how many guys u know could shoot a three-pointer with half a hand? he believed in God. He hoped in God. and this is what i want to talk about 2day.now, there is a air-stewardess who also got burnt during d SQ crash. she looked much better than joe. now compare what joel said to her:Joe:"Having Jesus in my life makes me who i am. u can take away my fingers, u can take away my toes, but u cant take away my being. now even if i had fingers and toes, would it be any change to my being?"Air-stewardess:"I know there is some hope in this world, but i do not know it."During the court case against the truck driver:" This is my prayer for u: that u will know the grace of God. let us not consume our lifes with hate, for hate brings misery. instead let us surround ourselves with love, unconditional love, that comes from God."During the court case against the ppl who caused the crash:" I will never forgive u."Joe accepted the fact that he could change his outside, but he believe he could change his inside and that's the first point.
1) i have hope!
I can change my inside!Heb 6:19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast and which enter the Presence behind the veil."Rom 5:5 Hope doesn't disappoint because the love of God has been p9oured into our heart."There are many times when we put our hope in friends, objects and so on. And u will usually be disappointed. WE HAVE TO PUT OUR HOPE IN GOD!2) Hope brings life and purpose.Rom 8:28 God will make all this work together for the good.GOD WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!---------------------------------------------------------To all the christians reading this post, who do u believe God is?
i believe God is an all-powerful being, my Father, my Friend, my Comfort, my Shelter, my Refuge, my everything.
Why are we victorious?1)Jesus is alive!Jesus rose from the dead!
Witnesses: John 11:13
1 Cor 15:3-8 He appeared to more than 500 of his brothers.
John 20:19 Jesus stood among the disciples and said "peace be with you"
John 21:1,14
Luke 24:15,34 Jesus came and walked with 2 disciples.
John 20:26-27
Mark 16:19-20 Jesus was taken to heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
Joe's body was disfigured.
Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday. It had a special meaning for Joe. He looked forward to the day he will meet God face to face.
What does Jesus' death and ressurection mean to u?It means to me that Jesus gave us ultimate victory and hope over death. it means to me tha Jesus brought us life.
John 11:25 Jesus iss the ressurection and life. anyone who believes in him will live, even though he dies. Jesus has the power of life and death.
Jesus will come back and receive u.
and sometimes u might think u r not good enough for God. but...
A murderer was good enough for God. He was Moses. God used him mightily.
A theif was good enough for God. He was Zacheus. God used him mightily.
A persecutor was good enough for God. He was Paul. God also used him mightily.
I AM GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD! GOD WILL USE MY MIGHTILY!God gave me victory!!!Now to those non-christians, u might think: what does it have to do with me. in fact, my purpose for this post is mainly for u. jesus took the weight of the world on his shoulders for u. if he didn't, u will die.
So, christians, who do u believe God is? what does jesus' death and ressurection mean to u? and the ultimate questions to all none believers,
DO U ONE TO ACCEPT JESUS AS UR LORD AND SAVIOUR?
